Week 6

Hi, we hope everyone enjoyed yesterday's holiday. This week is an exciting week in Year 2! This morning the children participated in Under 8's morning where they joined in many activities including face painting, hair colouring, threading, bubble blowing, chalk drawing, butterfly prints, paper planes and balloon people.

Don't forget costumes for Book Week tomorrow morning. The parade will take place in Siena at 9.15 am. Children wear their costume to school and have their uniform packed so they can change after the parade.

There is a whole school mass for the Feast of the Assumption on Thursday at 9am.

In maths we are continuing to revising the work covered at the end of last term and the beginning of this term in preparation for the first Maths Test. (Rather than do one large maths test for the term we are going to break it into two smaller ones). We will be revising money (coins and notes); time (o'clock, half-past, quarter past and quarter to, calendars (days of week and months of year) and seasons; addition and subtraction word problems; counting in 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s and adding 10, 20, 30 etc. to numbers; rainbow facts & doubles/near doubles.
New activities have been added to Studyladder and the children are encouraged to do these at home as well.

The Pamela Allen book we are focusing on this week is Daisy All-Sorts. Our grammar focus is onset and rime.

We have now begun our History unit: Now and Then Transport and our current focus is on cars.

Have a good week,
Felicity & Melissa
